164. Senator Kerry's 2004 election protection activities

Jonathan Simon of the Alliance for Democracy had taken screen shots of the exit poll data that proved the Kerry victory and alerted the Kerry campaign. An Ohio Democratic operative had informed the General Counsel of the Ohio Democratic Party of the anomalous report of Kerry under performing the rest of the ticket in a dozen SW Ohio counties.

Senator Kerry had taken all of the public interest groups' election protection operations under his wing at the Democratic convention. After the election he informed them there would be no litigation over the 2004 election. His campaign had raised some $7 million for post election litigation. Not a cent of that money was offered to support our citizen challenges in state and federal court, even though Reverend Jesse Jackson asked Senator Kerry for such financial support for our efforts.

Senator Kerry did authorize his Ohio election counsel, Don McTigue, to participate in the recount effort. However, he did not support any of our effort to investigate and litigate against the flagrant fraud in that election.

On the day U.S. Rep. Stephanie Tubbs Jones and Senator Barbara Boxer filed the challenge to the Ohio 2004 Electoral Vote, Senator Kerry was in Iraq "with the troops," having left instructions with his Senate colleagues not to support the challenge.

Senator Kerry told Dick Russell, coauthor of Jesse Ventura's book "American Conspiracies" that he knew his election was stolen, but by the time his lawyers figured it out, it was too late to do anything about it.
